The characterization of asphalt concrete materials continues being a crucial area of work in the field of pavement engineering. As part of the efforts to improve the current knowledge of this complex material, a novel laboratory equipment has been recently designed and constructed at Universidad de Los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia). This device, named “Hollow Cylinder Tester for Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) materials”(HCT-HMA), is a multipurpose apparatus equipped with an environmental conditioning chamber and a versatile loading
